Dang, I haven't been on here since MKMF day... and this thread jumped a bajillion pages already!
So much updates and good news, I don't know where to start...
Congrats to Dae & GD for being accepted to Kyung Hee Uni!! OMG they'll be graduating in 2009?! Damn, they beat me. > <

Thanks for all the pics, links, updates, etc everyone!! I still need to catch up right now...

edit: Aaack, I TOPped a page! I might or might not come back to edit. I don't know if I have anything...

Question:
so i have this big question i don't really understand.
when big bang comes to America are they holding a tour and also studding?
or are they just coming to America to study and work on music?

they will be coming to America NOT for a Concert Tour hehe
i think lots of people misunderstood the "tour" word that they used...
they are just coming there to study and work on music.
Since they said it's gonna be a long vacation + work for them, there will be no concert tours.
they seriously really need to rest.
hehe
it would be cool if the decide to hold concerts there, but since GD will be working on his album, and the other 4 will be in training time again. i mean their aim to go there was just to do "silent " work and train and study more....i don't want them to end up in hospitals again

BIG BANG INTERVIEW

First of all, TOP (sshi) your kiss scene has become one of the headlines in the news. How have you come to doing that?
- TOP: Well… when we were organizing the performance, we coincidently came up with that idea… just coincidently. This is sort of a topic that is difficult to talk about (laughs)

There are five members in Big Bang, but is there a special reason for TOP to be involved in this scene?
- SR: Because of the fact that the person who is involved in this scene had to have an excellent acting skills, we thought that TOP was suitable for this scene.

Whose idea was it to perform Seung Ri’s “U go Girl”?
- SR: Hyo Ri noona made a suggestion on making a guy version of U Go Girl, and apparently she chose me. I don’t know the reason she chose me though…. (laughs)

To get into the main topic, we were curious of something. Is ‘sunset glow’ a remake or a sampling? (I don’t know the difference between two)
- SR: It’s sampling of course. You can see it the same way as to what Se7en (hyung) has sampled Seo Tae Ji’s “I know (Nan Al A yo).” We just copied the chorus, and everything else was different than the original song.

We know that Big Bang is very well known for their creativity. Weren’t there some contrast in opinions, to make the title song of the album to be a new song?
- TY: In our first album, the title song “Dirty Cash” was focusing on money and gold. But this album we wanted to talk a lot more of society and the community.
When CEO Yang Hyun Suk, suggested Sunset glow as the title song, we were not really supportive of the idea. However, the song itself came out to be good, and as it is a whole album, we wanted to have the adults listen to our song as well. We have recorded this song when our 3rd mini album came out, but we have saved it for it to become the title song of a full album.

Since it is a full album, you guys will work on it for a long period of time. Am I right?
- TY: We are going to have our concert of this album next year on January. Until then, we will be working a lot and after that, we are planning to go to the states.

But, G-dragon, you seem to look sick.
- GD: No, it’s just that yesterday (17th) I have been sleeping a lot in a while, and my eyes started to sore. We didn’t have a schedule for the whole day, so I just slept a lot.
- TOP: Everyone only slept. Because we seem to be stressed out and we are not nervous anymore

Knowing the way to fight against your sleep was improved. Am I right?
- TY: Sleep doesn’t seem to be the opponent we should fight against. When you are sleepy, you should sleep. (laughs) For a while, whenever we had spare time left, we would hang around, but nowadays, whenever we have time we always seem to be sleeping.

yay congrats to daesung and jiyong for getting admitted. wah they're gonna be studying with a grip load of idols as well. i've never really heard anything about jiyong and school, but i'm glad he's continuing his education.

seungri in the theater! i wish i can go watch, but i can't wait til it gets released on dvd. in the meantime, i'll look forward to the BR commercial. i hope free ice cream is apart of their new contract. jiyong and top seemed pretty adamant about that. lol.

question! has top already started filming iris? i read on the drama thread that filming started this month, but i haven't seen any news on it.

[if_U]

they will be coming to America NOT for a Concert Tour hehe

i can't wait till G-dragon's solo album i just know he is going to do well.
i hope they all study well and comeback even better when they go the the U.S.

[mUsiCisMYlifEy]

Ah! Thanks for the gorgeous pictures.

So they're coming to the U.S.....when?

They're probably maybe going to go to the Millennium Dance Complex.
[S. E works there.]
If they do come to California...that is...
I wouldn't be surprised if they had a photobook for the USA trip.
2009~~~~~

Could anyone give me the most recent Big Bang news?
[Including their thingy to the U.S...any more details?]

BIG BANG INTERVIEW (PART 2)

It shows that you are busier. The position Big Bang is in now, aren’t you happy for this factor?
- TY: Well… we haven’t really thought about it. But we still have a long way to go. It has only been our third year. We know that we are getting a lot of love from many people, but as much as they love us, I think that we should try our best every time. The position we are in now is not very important, but how we will improve day by day is much more important to us.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Big Bang?
- GD: The strengths are that all of us have different styles, and as a team we have different colours in music. All of us seem to have different talents. And we have our own colour as a group. And the weaknesses… there are none (laughs)
- TOP: We are not sure about the weaknesses or our limit. But if we think about it, our limit seems to be that we can’t show more things to the audience on stage.
- GD: hmm… Because of the fact that we don’t have much time meaning we don’t have as much time to practice, there are details we can’t practice precisely. There are some improvements we can do during performance

‘Sunset Glow’ seems to be a song with a really cute atmosphere. TOP (sshi) you seemed to be a bit awkward. (laughes)
- TOP: No. Or maybe for the audience it is. But I think I am cute enough for this song (laughs)

Thanks for the trans/news. ^^

Gah, poor boys. They're so exhausted that all they want to do is sleep. T_T So I guess the boys want to have more time to practice, but they don't have a choice and just have to keep working. :/ They have to work hard for 2 months and then get to (sort-of) have a vacation. Gambatte!!!

LOLOLOL. TOP always loved to be called cute. hahah

lol @ GD trying to trick YB, but YB outsmarted him. XD

Watch: Cyworld Season 2 Big Bang Mini-Me video

[peeaye]

Ah! Thanks for the gorgeous pictures.

So they're coming to the U.S.....when?

I believe they're coming Feb 09? Or at least sometime after their concert tour in Jan09.

---

aw, their interview made me frown.
they should definitely start setting aside more time to sleep!
AND yes, definitely. no weaknesses minus the need for rest.
I don't think I understand the last interview 'question.' Does he mean TOP is awkward for the song?
Or TOP was awkward after the interviewer said that Sunset Glow had a cute atmosphere?

thx for the second part of the translation
it's cool how GD is always so positive about Big Bang and their talents~~
that always help them alot to always feel happy about everything
rather than trying to think about other artists being more popular or better than them
XD
lol at TOP's answer.
"cute enough for this song", TOP, you're insanly adorable.

Haha, he's adorable.
Anyways, congrats to BB for Best Male Group & Artist of the Year.
The front page looks fantastic, the7REAL. Great job

Regarding their vacation in the states...
Where would they be residing?
Sorry if I sound like a creeper, but I'm curious.
Would they hold any fanservice--fanmeeting, signing, whatever?

Mmm, regardless, I hope they have a great time here from February to April.
Finally, after all that hard work, they get to relax. They deserve it.



Big Bang's weaknesses?
None.
Love love love GD's confidence.

LOL @ seungri; the boy can't help himself can he?
GD... he's such a bad hyung... isn't it a good thing if seungri copies him?
heehee

and i don't think big bang would come out on valentine's day LOL... they'd end up getting mobbed on their way to jjahjangmyun HaHa... at least.. i would >>

question! has top already started filming iris? i read on the drama thread that filming started this month, but i haven't seen any news on it.

i think they started in october?? i think i read that somewhere.. :/ i'm waiting too!

I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT FOR FEB '09
OMG. SPAZZ.SPAZZ.SPAZZM. OHEMGEEEE!!!

and i think some people before were asking if xiah and daesung are friends,
and i suppose they are, because xiah & yunho guest starred on family outing, where daesung is a regular... it seemed like yunho+daesung were closer, but all's good (:
plus++ would it not be awesome if dbsk & big bang had a collab., special stage and all?! i'm slowly getting sucked into dbsk....
